US President was made to stand behind the Queen?

On the surface, this looks like a major insult to US while some other less powerful nations laeders get to sit with her in the front row seats?

Is this because Obama had sent back Churchill's bust back to mother England?

Don't care. The state isn't legitimate, anyway.

Gordon Brown doesn't seem like old or woman LOL

But that would be very interesting if Queens protocols are based on the traditional "ladies and old folks first" in seating arrangements. Then Obama is right to bow before almost every leader of the world who would be his elder. I thought we was most powerful and rich and therefore first in international protocols.

I could really care less about this 'Obama bowing to so-and-so' or similar actions, as it's all nothing but posturing. I could care less about what some dolt in England or Saudi Arabia thinks about manners, so long as I could be proud of my own country. Can't even have that anymore, though.

Well said RM918.
